Harnessing the BackPack API - Part I

The article Harnessing the BackPack API takes a look at the BackPack API and puts it to use with C#. This first article covers how to set up a free BackPack account, grab the XML Token needed, and delve into connecting to the server to send commands and data back and forth. We'll do this by building a rough Windows Forms application that models all of the available operations for just the BackPack page object.

The next two articles will flesh out the rest of the API, improve the UI for our application, and then play around with XML serialization and other goodness to make BackPack portable.
